Note from the translator: all things Twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer, and Save the frog is a story by the very lovely and very popular French author Louise Malone.

Speaking of which, today I would like to tell you a little more about the author, just to give you an idea of who she is. I don't think I'm mistaken if I say that you probably all know Amethyst Jackson, the popular author of Bonne Foi, Only Human, and When Edward met Bella (which I had the great pleasure of translating in French a while ago). Well, it so happens that Amethyst Jackson and Louise Malone have a lot in common: they are both immensely prolific, Amethyst having written over a hundred stories, and Louise having written 86 stories (note that Louise Malone has been on FF for only 3 years, and do the math...). Both Amethyst and Louise write for Twilight and Harry Potter, and they are both among the most popular authors on their respective side of the fandom. And, of course, they both gave me permission to translate their work, and for that, I'm very grateful :0)

Louise Malone is a high school nurse who deals with youth on a daily basis, and some of the topics broached in this story are based on her real life experience with teenagers. In this chapter, I took the liberty to change some lines of the original story, because in the US, as you probably know, people can't buy antibiotics without a doctor prescription. You'll see what I'm talking about at the end of the chapter. Thank you all for reviewing this story, and good reading.

Chapter 14: Love and friendship

Edward POV

It's official; she's driving me insane. Bella Swan is my own little personal demon.

We need to talk. That's it. We need to have a discussion, a real one. So I drag her toward the room Jasper uses as his office and guest bedroom.

That's where I sleep temporarily; the sofa bed is undone…

NO! One mental slap later, I pull myself together and I lead Bella in said room to TALK. It's important, paramount, even.

"Don't forget the condom this time!"

Alice…

Bella blushes and lowers her eyes. I chuckle while biting my lip. I brush my hand over her cheek. She looks at me, slightly frightened.

"Bella… I… I'm really sorry for the morning after pill. I should have protected you. I'm so very sorry…"

"It's over now. And I'm fine!"

She's almost shaking. Is she afraid of me?

"I'm not going to hurt you; I never want to hurt you again. I just want to talk with you, sweetie…"

Tears are shining in her eyes.

"Don't be scared! We have to be careful, Bella; we can't do anything we want. We might get caught and-"

She steps away from me. "It's all right, I get it. That's… That sucks. You shouldn't have done it if it's only to have regrets afterwards!"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Jasper and Alice are able to manage it! It would be possible for us as well, but you don't want and-"

She thinks I don't want her? I burst into laughter, and in one step I reach her, hugging her tight. "You think I want to break up with you?"

"Well… it's pretty obvious."

"Oh, silly girl! Never! I'm incapable to resist the lure you have on me. I thought I'd proved it to you. I just want us to talk about it, so that we know how to set our boundaries. How we're going to be able to see each other and stuff like that…"

She breathes heavily, her nose against my chest, and I hold her tighter.

There's a commotion in the living room, and right after, we hear a scratching at the door and Alice's voice whispering, "We have visitors. Please, stay there and try not to make too much noise!"

I look at Bella and smile. Stuck here with my beauty. I'm going to have to switch into 'resistance' mode not to overindulge her wonderful body again. She must have the same kind of thoughts for she fiddles with the zipper of her jacket while blushing.

I sit on the edge of the unfolded sofa bed and pat the space next to me for her to join me. She sits cross-legged and stares at me, still on the defensive.

"Hmm… Bella, your father would certainly not look at our relationship favorably. In addition, he's the police Chief, thus he carries a gun…"

She smiles. "He doesn't have a clue about us… For him, I'm still a five year old!"

"Okay, he doesn't know anything, and it would be best that it stay this way. Same thing at school, for that matter; no one must learn about us!"

"Of course!"

"Like I said, we need to be careful, to hide!"

"I'm not totally stupid!"

She frowns, almost angry, and she's even more endearing like that…

"I never said that, Bella! I'm just, uh, slightly anxious…"

She sniggers and mumbles something that I can't grasp.

"What did you say, kitten?"

"Nothing…"

"Yes you did! Come on, say it!"

She smiles, bantering. "I said 'and they say men are the stronger sex.'"

I feel blush rising to my cheeks and she giggles, looking at me.

"You want me to show you whether or not I'm the stronger sex right here and now?"

I'm kidding but she nods vigorously, her stare abruptly less innocent and much more provocative. Hmm, the room feels hot all of a sudden…

"Bella… do not tempt me!"

"Why not?"

"Because if you do, I'm not sure I'll be able to retain myself!"

"Well… I don't want you to hold back!"

The little minx doesn't realize what she's doing to me, or does she? And here I am, with a hard-on!

"But… Bella… it's too soon to do it again!"

She looks at me in surprise. "Is that so? You're not that old yet…"

"Excuse me?"

"Well, I know it takes a little time for men before they can, uh, do it again, but I didn't think it was so long at your age…"

I stare at her, bewildered. She opens wide, innocent eyes, and returns my stare; she's the perfect embodiment of purity.

"But…No… I mean… BELLA! I'm not old, and I'm even already, uh, set to do it again. It's for you that I'm concerned."

She bursts out laughing, and it's when I see her amused look that I understand that she kidded me. Then I jump on her and take possession of her lips. She wraps her arms around me and I'm pretty sure that my good intentions won't last long.

I take a deep breath and gently push her away, holding her by the shoulders. "Bella… I'm not sure that making love again is a good idea; it might hurt you anew!

"Well… I… I feel like doing it again! I'm in need!"

She blushes scarlet and fiddles with her curls.

A lamb. That's it. I've found out what she reminds me of. She's a little innocent lamb. Well, not so innocent…

"There are other ways, you know… I can show you if you want."

"YES!"

So much for the conversation I wanted to have with her… It will have to wait, because she's already unbuttoning my shirt.

I pull her t-shirt up. She's wearing a grey cotton bra and I reach behind her back to unclasp it. She moans when I lie her down on the sofa bed to suckle her breasts with delight. Without letting go of them, I slide her jeans down her legs. She's naked in my arms in no time.

I gaze at her with admiration. She looks even more beautiful. She's a little embarrassed, as she was yesterday, but it's all the more touching.

She squirms and I come out of my trance to remove my own jeans. Then I kiss her, lingering on her neck and shoulders where her skin is so soft. I return to her nipples, making her moan loudly. I lie down on her and she greets me, intertwining her legs with mine. I slide along her body, kissing, caressing, sucking on every bit that I come into contact with along my path. I taste the skin of her stomach and tease her navel for a long while; I knead her hips, making her whimpering over and over… And then I find my target.

Her fleece is as soft and lovely as yesterday. She arches her back when I put my lips on her mons, running my fingers along her wet slit. I'm panting and my sex is on fire, literally. But it's only for her; I want to pleasure her, and nothing else matters. I focus my licking on her clit while gently inserting a finger in her, testing her reactions. Assessing that her lifting her hips while moaning my name is a positive reaction, I move my finger inside her, careful not to hurt her. Her juices leak abundantly, now, and from time to time I let go of her little pleasure nub, causing her to grunt discontentedly, to collect the essence of her desire on the tip of my tongue, savoring the pearly juices with bliss.

Soon she buries her hands in my hair, gripping it as I feel her pleasure increasing. My intention is to lead her to climax, but she pushes me away after a moment of this treatment. She's sweating, panting, and clearly overwhelmed by a consuming desire.

"Edward, I can't take anymore of this! I want you inside me! I beg you!"

"I'm too afraid of hurting you!"

She digs her nails into my shoulders. "If it hurts, we'll stop!"

C'mon…

That being said, we can give it a try… My cock is so hard that I fear I might cum simply by slipping the condom on. I'm quite proud of myself: I thought of having one with me this time around.

Bella watches me as I position myself between her thighs. She's scared, that much I can see. But her eyes are glowing with desire, too.

I only push a little and she winces.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes. I want MORE!"

She's a demanding little lamb, but I'm pleased to comply. And then it's my turn to moan while trying to control myself. I meet her sweetness and tightness and I don't want to ever leave her warm haven.

She shudders when I thrust again, unable to restrain myself. I bury my shaft deep inside her and I look at her in the eyes. "Are you okay, Bella?"

"Yes! It's…Oh! It's so GOOD!"

"SHUSH!"

But of course she's unable to control herself and I have to gag her with my hand to muffle her screams of pleasure.

She spreads her thighs wide and I push harder and harder in her, sinking deeper with each thrust, inducing her pleasure and mine.

She screams underneath my hand and I grind in her, eager to feel the orgasm take possession of our bodies. She climaxes first, arching her body under mine, and I watch her experiencing what I assume is her first orgasm, which is obviously a source of very intense pleasure.

I reach my own climax and I lose myself into her sweetness…

ooo

Bella POV

More… I want MORE!

What the heck was that? It's just too good!

Edward thrusts in me almost violently now, but it doesn't even hurt. I feel so good! My belly is perfectly relaxed, and I feel… Complete… Happy…

He arches and groans, and I understand that he just had his release. He lets himself fall on me, panting and moaning my name.

I guess I can ask him now.

"What's that?"

"It was an orgasm, love," he says, looking at me intensely and smiling.

Oh, okay. Now I understand what all the fuss is about!

"Well, I want more!"

"You'll have more, I promise."

He laughs and rolls on his back, dragging me with him. I straddle his chest and I try to catch my breath and my senses.

When I've recovered enough, I tell him, "If that's what you mean by talking, we can talk all day long!"

He gently tugs the lock of hair he was playing with. "Bella… I'm not particularly tempted by a stay in prison, you know. Seriously, there's got to be nothing between us but a student/teacher relationship in school, and we have to ignore each other on the street, okay?"

"Yes, but how and when are we going to see each other, then?"

"Let's see… after school, I guess! What time does your father get home?"

"Rarely before 7:00 or 8:00 pm."

"You have your answer, then. You never finish your classes later than 4:00 pm, and so do I, so we have 2 or 3 hours that we can spend together!"

I curl up against him again, reassured. My phone rings. Damn.

"Bella, it's me!"

"Dad!"

Edward jumps, sits up and looks like a rabbit caught by a hunter.

"Where are you?"

"I'm taking a walk with Alice."

"Again?"

"Yes! I really love this girl! We have a lot of fun together!"

"When are you coming home? I'm waiting, and I have a surprise for you!"

"Well… I'm on my way."

"Tell Alice to come eat with us."

Argh…

"Okay. See you soon."

I hang up, annoyed.

"My dad wants me to go home and he wants Alice to have dinner with us!"

Edward is getting dressed. I do the same. He leaves the room to go fetch Alice. After all, this place is his home for the time being.

Alice arrives while I'm putting on my Converse. She looks at me with a frown.

"Oh well, they will learn the truth sooner or later anyway…"

She grabs my hand and drags me towards the living room. I try to protest but she won't listen to me. I enter the lounge and immediately meet Edward's panicked look. As for Jasper, he smiles at me, but glances worriedly at the two other people in the room. There's a young blond woman who looks a lot like Jasper, and she's with our phys-ed teacher.

Argh…

He looks at me, stunned. "I do know you!"

I smile at him, too embarrassed to speak.

Alice answers for me, very spontaneous. "It's Bella Swan. She's a new student!"

Mr. McCarty looks at Jasper, then Alice. "Hmm, does she know?"

"Oh yes! She's with Edward!" Alice almost croons.

Edward sinks into his chair as the young blond woman stares at him before returning her attention to me. The phys-ed teacher remains speechless for a long moment. Then he addresses Jasper. "Is it the latest fashion, or what?"

Alice pulls my hand firmly for me to follow her to the door. "Anyway, we gotta go. It was nice to see you, Rose and Emmett. Good evening everyone! See you later Jasper and Edward!"

We disappear without looking back. We scurry to Charlie's house. "Did he remember to use a condom this time?" Alice asks.

"Yes!"

"Was it good?"

"Oh yes!"

She laughs. "It gets better and better. You'll see!"

"I don't think it's possible."

She looks at me, astounded. "You had an orgasm already?"

"Yes, I think so!"

"How was it?"

"Well… like a heat wave, an intense pleasure rising before reaching a summit and then slowly receding and-"

"Yeah, that's it! It's great, eh?"

"Oh yes!"

"It makes you want to do it again!"

"Definitely!"

"You'll never be able to live without it again!"

I gladly believe her…

We're almost running when we land at Charlie, who opens the door with a big smile.

"Girls! I thought you were going for a walk, not working out! Bella, I can see you're benefiting a lot from the fresh air; your cheeks are scarlet red!"

ooo

Jasper POV

Well, I guess we had it coming…

The girls spun away like the house was on fire, and now Edward is deathly pale.

Rosalie seems to think that Alice was joking, and Emmett is slowly realizing the situation. It's clear that he doesn't take it very well.

I try to play it casual. "Help yourself with another slice of pizza, Emmett."

But he keeps staring at Edward. "You think you're allowed to screw any teenage girl at a hand's reach under the pretext that Jasper and Alice are living a true love story, is that it?"

"Uh, no, actually, I… I didn't know about them before. I mean… I'm in love with Bella too; I only want her happiness and-"

"You mean her happiness and your pleasure!"

"No! I swear to God, I really love her; she's my little lamb and-"

Rosalie hands a glass of wine to Emmett. "Come on, honey, admit that the little one didn't seem traumatized, and give Edward the benefit of the doubt."

My sister is clever, very clever. Besides, she knows Edward very well, and it's clear in her mind that he would never hurt anyone. I've always wondered if there has been something between them at some point. But I don't think now would be the right moment to ask the question.

Emmett finally calms down after a while. But he swears to Edward that he's going to keep an eye on him.

Edward, aware of my aggravation, plays the part of the perfect homemaker after the departure of Emmett and my sister. He gets rid of the pizza cardboard boxes, fills the dishwasher and goes as far as vacuuming the entire place.

But in the end, I corner him. "Did you at least use a condom?"

"YES!"

"For Christ's sake, you really did it again, then?"

He stares at me, clearly annoyed. "How long did you wait before round two?"

I blush. He sees it and he insists. "HOW LONG, JASPER?"

"I think it was… uh… one hour?"

He stays silent, and then he shakes his head. "Damn Alice… you would never guess, not by the way she looks, anyway!"

"Yeah, I know…"

My phone rings while we're watching football on cable.

It's my Lili. "Jazz, I'm at my mother's. Charlie gave me a lift there. Can you come get me?"

"I'm on my way, love."

Once she's home, she recounts her evening. "Charlie believes everything Bella tells him. She played the innocent little girl and he fell for it. Can you believe it?"

Yes I can...

I lie her down on the bed, still wet from the shower. She shaves her pubic area since my sister moved to Forks. It's weird… Maybe it's not a coincidence.

Anyway, I love it, especially for cunnilingus purpose, which we both enjoy. Just as I'm about to perform one, Alice says, offhand, "Speaking of which, Bella doesn't shave entirely. I'll have to do it for her!"

I'm shocked but I ask nevertheless, "Alice… How do you know that Bella doesn't shave her pubis, and how the hell are you planning on doing it for her?"

She stares at me, surprised. "Well, she told me so, and I also saw it with my own eyes."

"You. Saw. Bella. Naked?"

"Jeez, why are you looking at me with bulging eyes? Yes, I saw Bella naked!"

"But… when?"

"Earlier today, when she went to change after arriving at her house."

Alice is visibly stunned by my bewilderment.

"And now, just like that, you envision to wax her like it was the most natural thing in the world?"

She gazes at me as if I were an alien from Mars. "Of course! It's a girl thing, and Rose did it to me, so…"

I have my answer. My sister had a part in it. But knowing that doesn't do any good for mini Jasper, alas. My hard-on is gone…

Alice gently pushes me back on the bed and undertakes a wonderful blowjob that fully revives my cock.

Girls… I don't get them at all. But so be it. I have my Alice with me, and I don't care about anything else!

ooo

Alice POV

September 13. I watch the arrival of the patrol car, in front of the high school.

It's not raining, and I hope Bella will be pleased about that fact. You don't reach seventeen every day, and a day without rain, here, it's as if Forks wanted to give a present of its own to Bella for her birthday.

There she is!

She gets out of the car and I can see instantly that something is wrong with her. I smile at Charlie and take Bella's arm. She offers her father a tense smile, and since Charlie isn't very intuitive, he doesn't notice anything.

Bella has tears in her eyes.

"B! What's going on?"

"My belly hurts! I pee all the time and it burns horribly!"

Ouch.

"You probably have a urinary infection."

"I think so, too."

Ouch, ouch, ouch…

"You need to see a doctor!"

"I did some research on Google, and I found out that it's very rare for virgin girls to have cystitis. My father might suspect something if he knows I have one!"

That sucks, but there's always a plan B. I hide in the bike shed and I call Jasper. "Jazz, it's me. Bella has a urinary infection and she needs antibiotics. Go to the pharmacy and buy her some, please."

He grumbles. "Why me?"

"Who else? Edward has a course starting at 8:00, just like us. You're the only one who starts at 9:00!"

"All right, I'll go."

We head to our math class. Bella is forced to leave the classroom 4 or 5 times during the hour to go pee. The teacher starts to get annoyed and I see Bella whispering in her ear. Fortunately, being a woman, she seems to understand the situation.

We run into Edward in the hallway, but he ignores us. Yet two seconds later, Bella gets a text message from him.

What do you have?

She's in such a bad state that I answer for her.

She's got a urinary infection. Jazz went to buy her some antibiotics.

He replies right away.

I'm sorry. I love you my B.

This brings back a faint smile on my friend's face.

At 9:00, we go to my locker. Jasper knows the code numbers to open my lock and he's put a pharmacy bag inside the locker. Bella waits impatiently as I read a little note from my love.

The pharmacist said Bella needs a prescription from the doctor to get the antibiotics. Instead, she suggested that she drink a lot and take Spasfon*, which is the medicine you'll find in the bag I put in your locker.

Bella takes the medicine, and by the end of morning she feels better.

"My father finally said yes for me to come over to your place tonight!" she says.

I smile. She means come over to Edward's place!

He moved into his new house last week and I'm delighted to have recovered my intimacy with Jasper.

After class, Bella and I go to my mother's, making sure that we are being seen where we're supposed to spend the rest of the day. Jasper picks us up half an hour later on the road. We stash on the floor of the car, laughing, and he enters his garage. We're going to party tonight!

Bella is turning seventeen, and the four of us are celebrating together. Edward holds her in his arms, visibly trying to apologize for the urinary infection. He hands her a huge package. She unwraps a plush lamb and some books, as well as a silver bracelet. Jasper and I share a knowing look.

Those two are so cute!

* Spasfon is typically used for gastrointestinal problems. This medication is virtually free of side effects. Here is a more thorough list of uses:

symptomatic treatment of pain associated with functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and biliary tract;
treatment of spasmodic and painful manifestations of acute urinary tract: renal colic;
symptomatic treatment of painful spastic manifestations in gynecology;
adjuvant treatment of contractions during pregnancy in combination with rest.

Huge thanks to my beta Lizzard43 for her precious help.

Until next time :0)
